This semester I've been teaching "Economic Inequality and Growth" at @UCBerkeley. This is a thread with some of my favorite graphs. First, the headline everyone's-seen-it graph: falling then rising income inequality in Anglophone countries.

Is there a housing supply shortage in the US? In a new article in @HousPolDebate, I investigate this question, arguing that: —Increasing housing supply is a core path to improved housing conditions —More supply is associated with less housing cost growth tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

“New construction alone can’t solve the housing affordability issue.” By @urbaninstitute’s @yfreemark buff.ly/3vUdMNw
Great piece by @yfreemark explaining why we need BOTH market rate housing AND more subsidized affordable housing to solve the housing crisis. Colorado is taking a holistic approach with a combination of land use reforms (zoning, permitting, parking) & affordable housing…
To tackle housing affordability, US needs both: —Big increases in housing supply for the middle class —Large expansions in public affordable housing subsidies for people with low incomes I delve into the dual nature of housing supply needs @urbaninstitute urban.org/urban-wire/no-…
A huge Medicaid cut in Tennessee led to increases in crime, new research has found. This finding comes right after a big national Medicaid drop-off last year, and amid ongoing consideration by several states of even deeper cuts. New in @boltsmag: boltsmag.org/medicaid-cover…
The whole thread is good. But this is the one most non-housers need to really absorb and prioritize. Solely “market-based” solutions won’t do it for low income families.
Key to this story are public subsidies for affordable housing. The Boston region has about 3x the per-capita federal housing subsidies for renters with extremely low incomes as Houston. As a result, housing for those renters is >more< affordable in Boston than Houston.
@yfreemark @matthewplan @dillonliam One more point: the national nature of the problem points to the way a Houston benefits a Boston!
